What part did Gatsby play, if any, in his own destruction?
Answer: Gatsby was full of hope and naive, and thus contributed to his own destruction.
Explanation:
Gatsby's only dream was to be with Daisy. All the parties he organized, the nights that he spent staring at the green light, the luxurious life that he lived all had one purpose - that Daisy and him reunite and live together.
Gatsby's love made him blind, as he could not see that he surrounded himself with dangerous people. Daisy has changed and was not the same woman anymore. She got married and had a child, but was also greatly influenced by her husband, Tom. The two of them only care about their own benefit, which is why they blame Gatsby for Myrtle's murder in order for Daisy to get away with it. As a consequence, Myrtle's husband will kill Gatsby. Gatsby was playing with fire, and clearly provoked Tom with his adventure with Daisy.
What other forces contributed?
Answer: Tom and Daisy Buchanan also contributed to Gatsby's destruction.
Explanation:
Gatsby's tragic death is, of course, not entirely his fault. Tom Buchanan is a jealous man, feared in his society. He is not fond of Gatsby from the moment he meets him. He has no reason to be jealous of Daisy and Gatsby spending time together, as he himself had an affair and kept humiliating Daisy in public. However, his brutish personality does not allow him to tolerate their relationship. Myrtle's death turns out to be a perfect opportunity for his revenge on Gatsby. Daisy, on the other hand, also participates in this plot against Gatsby. Even if she does oppose Tom's plan, her efforts were not strong enough to stop it. Perhaps she is afraid of her husband, but that does not justify her actions. Daisy's betrayal also contributes to Gatsby's destruction.
